Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of
dust and use care with liquids around the computer.
■
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does
get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry
completely before you turn it on again.
■
Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can
use glass cleaner on the display. Spray a small amount of cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any
part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the
computer.
Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple
precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-
free operation.
■
Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Check the
Disk
indicator on the computer and the indicator on any
external disk drive.
■
If a diskette is in the external disk drive, remove it.

If a CD/DVD is in the drive, remove it. Also make sure the drawer is
securely closed.
